School Nutrition Associate Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School

  • Date Posted June 28, 2022
  • Location Atlanta, GA
  • Category Culinary / Education
  • Job type Full-Time
Company description Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School is a public, non-profit K-8 school in SE Atlanta focusing on educating the whole child and connecting with one's community in a mindful, interdisciplinary learning environment.  Our kitchen serves meals compliant with the National School Lunch Program prepared from scratch daily, and featuring produce grown on our school grounds (over 2200 lbs. for the 2021-2022 school year).  Our students spend time cultivating, harvesting, and learning with our garden educator and local farmers we partner with for guidance and expertise.  We seek to integrate our program with our students' academic life by exploring the intersection of food, culture, race, gender, history, ecology, heritage, and more in our menus. Job description Our school nutrition staff work daily to prepare and serve breakfast and lunch to our school community.  We place an emphasis on seasonal, locally grown food, and have recently established a serious, production-oriented farm on school grounds to grow as much produce as we can for our school lunches and to involve students in all of the steps of this process.

Our team is engaged in a wide variety of roles and tasks in any given day, from serving students and adults, food preparation, receiving bulk delivery, processing payment and record-keeping, cleaning and more.  Nutrition staff are full-time, contracted employees and are eligible for benefits.  All faculty and staff participate in continuing education and other efforts to establish an inclusive school community focused on educating the entire person.

Working with and around children is the norm.  Working well in a team in what may sometimes be loud or exuberantly chaotic environments is often necessary in a school.  Being able to keep one's center and model self-control while keeping communication going is an essential skill.  

Nutrition staff must be physically able to complete tasks in person each school day including but not limited to working on one's feet for substantial stretches of time, lifting up to 50 lbs without assistance, moving moderate to heavy items with assistance from others, working safely with potentially hazardous chemicals, working in hot and cold environments, working with sharp or otherwise potentially dangerous equipment, lifting, stooping.

Previous professional kitchen or foodservice experience is preferred, but not required.

Applicants will be subject to background testing. Compensation this position is : salaried, 35,568* - 50k Application instructions
